Why is it so hard to find reputable work from home as a sahm. We are struggling over here financially and I feel really hopeless. We have 0.42 cents in our bank account until Friday. Then most of it goes to bills. We are running low on groceries it’s making me really anxious. I want to be able to help my husband and contribute financially because this is ridiculous. I only became a sahm because we could not afford child care and now with two kids I don’t even know what to do anymore. Why is everything so damn expensive.

Literally just went through this. Finally broke down and got a job at a daycare so my son could go. It's only my second day so who knows what the future holds. But they gave me 50% off daycare costs. Not ideal but just an idea if youre desperate. Could always keep looking for a remote position and quit if you find one.

Childcare cost is the reason my husband is a stay at home dad it's ridiculous

I didnt need any qualifications. And tbh it was really easy to get hired. I think its a very common arrangement. I did do a lot of research on different daycare and chose one that I trust for my son to go to. And one that is education based because I think thats important. I wouldnt just choose a random daycare cause not all of them will be good for your kiddo or fun to work at. My daycare has like 18 teachers; super well staffed. Which is important for your sanity because you don't wanna be the only teacher with 20 toddlers lol
